New eBird Gadget Below - Thanks, Zachary !

.
Scroll to the bottom of this page (tapping the END key will be faster, then HOME key for back to here) to enjoy an impressive Blog Gadget created by Zachary DeBruine.
.
I knew nothing about this until Ken Sapkowski mentioned (March 22 post below) his seeing the Virginia Rail that Brian Johnson had posted.  Posted where? I wondered.  "Zachary DeBruine's gadget", Ken replied, and subsequent emails from Zachary taught me how to include it on this page.
.
I tried posting it along the left margin, but spacing didn't work so well.  That's why it's at the bottom and probably will remain there.  I've used the GPS latitude and longitude coordinates for the City of Muskegon, a radius of 20 miles and a "look back" period of one week, but will gladly tweak those if people have better suggestions.  Clicking the green arrow at the end of an entry will display a map of the location of that sighting.
.
Meanwhile THANK YOU, ZACHARY (and Ken) for a great addition to this page!

I'd also add that you can click on locations and species within the lists of the gadget to open up location and species reports...

Look for the Apple/Android App version of this over summer!!
